there's been an angry reaction from brussels. the european commission president, donald tusk, accused borisjohnson of trying to win what he called a "stupid blame game". also tonight... the parents of this ten—year—old boy who died after contracting hiv from contaminated blood products almost 30 years ago tell a public inquiry of their heartbreak. there is a little boy of eight, nine, telling you he's so frightened and you can't take that away. the impact of knife crime on its young victims — more than 20,000 were injured last year alone and, for many, the trauma continues. and britain's best building — an opera house, a council house and one made from cork. just some of the buildings up for the presigious up for the prestigious stirling prize tonight. and coming up on bbc news, we look ahead to tomorrow's crunch clash for scotland at the rugby world cup as they take on russia in their quest for quarterfinal qualification. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. a deal with the eu by the end of this month in time

adam in brussels. and doctor ardler in brussels. i like to say doctor when i'm wearing shoulder pads! it has been another big week. really. i feel cross eyed. my binder has got much thicker. and are we poised to get a new brexit deal? laura, what does it look like? brussels asked for concrete proposals, viable, legally operational, and what did the prime minister come up with? a draft new protocol on ireland, northern ireland, with helpful, explanatory notes and a legal text that no—one has seen fully yet. broadly speaking, everybody ready? broadly speaking, the solution to replace the backstop, which was the thing in the last deal that fell in the commons to guarantee against a hard border coming back is... northern ireland for goods, cows, agriculture, stuff that is made in northern ireland, stays in the single market following eu rules, but northern ireland gets a vote on that every four years. it kind of gives people in northern ireland a veto. they might get a veto even before it comes in because the northern ireland assembly

sources where where you are in brussels what are you hearing from them. i've heard one diplomat say here are just moments ago that they expect the unexpected and so there is still hope that after 3 nights of hard negotiations and hard work by the by the teams of the e.u. and the u.k. that there still might be a chance that it deal could be struck of course they know that some negative news have come from the d. of p. but. negotiators here still hope that maybe a deal could be done and the european parliament which is another part of that once the european council agrees to a deal the european parliament has to give a green lights and they have signaled if a deal would be done today they could still make it in time to give greenlights for such a deal ok we're going to see cautious optimism from brussels but the british government where you are in london it's sounding much less optimistic bourse john's johnson seems to be having some trouble getting his northern irish allies do you people r.t. on side what are you hearing about that were your. yeah absolute

is not on the table the brussel is clearly tired of the back and forth but others in brussels have indicated something else. you know this is of course to talk about the next move that has now to come from london the spokes person of the commission you know said it's in the court of boris johnson now to play the ball and to say what's what's up next in brussels they say there was droll agreement as such was not rejected by parliament is only it's only postponed the bowed and now technically the prime minister is obliged to ask for an extension so brussels is still trying to make sense of it and it's not quite clear what will happen next and you mentioned the ball being in boris johnson's court and that you know brings me to my next question rob wall political tennis 3 and a half to extensions millions of brit britain brits but also you know people across the e.u. kind of hanging in there wondering what's going on how will this go down in history . it will be a black mark i think um in the history books because it just has taken so long and people are thinking breeched bricks it fatigue stage

let's take that hope to brussels and with. those who are saying that this sounds like a previous e.u. plan so presumably brussels is going to look at this with some favor. the paper's full and you know they have arrived here in brussels and it is currently the chief press in negotiating michel barnier who's assessing to what extent it is a compromise that the european union could live with i think there's 2 important points year one is the one that barbara's mentioned the u.k. as basically talking about a regular teri's zone another word for a backstop if you want where some parts of the internal market remain aligned but the u.k. would be out of the customs union and to what extent then checks in the irish sea so between the u.k. and northern ireland could be acceptable to northern ireland but also to the rest of the you that we'll have to see and there's another really interesting element and we're talking here let's read as remind our viewers we're talking here about a time after the transition say so for 2 years the u.k. e

our europe editor katya adler is in brussels right now. what's the latest? does the eu feel they are there on a deal? well, i can tell you that this rainy city has just been full of rumour and absolutely full of inpatients all day. those 27 ambassadors, they represent all of the eu's 27 countries, have been waiting around all day to hear from their chief brexit negotiator. he has been locked in there in the european commission building with uk negotiators, last night and today, and the expectation on the eu side at least is that a new brexit text is pretty much ready. they are just waiting to hear from the uk is pretty much ready. they are just waiting to hearfrom the uk side whether it can be signed. this is a text, remember, to replace the irish backstop, that guarantee mechanism to keep the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland open after brexit. but, george, and you have heard all the ifs and buts from laura, even if this text is ready, and even if it can be signed off by eu leaders at their summit over the next two days with boris

we begin in brussels. that is where british and eu negotiators are still trying to hammer out a brexit deal. a crucial summit of european leaders is due to get under way there in a few hours. high—level sources on both sides are telling the bbc that most issues between the uk, the european union and ireland have been settled, in principle, but that nothing is finalised until everything is. "difficult but possible" is the phrase being used to our correspondents. here is rich preston with the latest. negotiations between britain and the eu continued into the night, and are resuming this morning. they are trying to hammer out the legal text of the brexit deal that they can present to euro‘s leaders. they are arriving in brussels for what could be prime minister borisjohnson‘s last eu summit. but, whatever happens in brussels is only one stage in the process. written‘s divided parliament and government without a majority still has to vote through the deal, with a special session on saturday —— writ

let's go to brussels and speak to katya adler, oui’ brussels and speak to katya adler, our europe editor. the call was clear from boris our europe editor. the call was clearfrom borisjohnson, our europe editor. the call was clear from boris johnson, who our europe editor. the call was clearfrom borisjohnson, who once compromised from the eu because he is compromising. are you detecting a desire to compromise more than maybe they have done already? first, eu leaders want to digest this proposal, and many of them feared before they saw it that it would show that the prime minister is focused on a domestic audience on an upcoming general election, and not on engaging with the eu. but i've spoken to a number of eu diplomats tonight who say that some of those proposals were a lot better, they said, than expected, although they emphasised that very big differences remain between the two sides. the eu has a number of concerns when it comes to the prime minister's offer and the european commission says before it can think of compromise it has a number of detailed questions for the government whe

harbored mass for us in manchester and care in brussels thank you both. now it has been exactly one year since a saudi journalist. was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey a u.n. investigation found what it called credible evidence linking saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon to the killing but a year later none of the masterminds has been brought to justice for the murder and western partners seem to have forgiven saudi arabia. a c.c.t.v. camera captured the last images of journalist jamal khashoggi he was walking into the saudi consulate in istanbul where he would be brutally murdered what happened inside this building shocked the world. body is believed to have been dismembered and disposed of his remains have never been found. she was an outspoken critic of the saudi leadership since 2017 he had lived in self-imposed exile in the u.s. i was a columnist for the washington post. after he was murdered saudi arabia initially hampered turkey's efforts to investigate but eventually riyadh admitted she had died in the concert at the stat

so, not the permanent guarantee brussels wants. if you think the plan's complicated, just look at the politics. no clear sign the eu's ready to sign up. parliament has to agree any deal, if there is one. no deal, and mrjohnson‘s left chasing strongly brexiteer votes. and a brexit extension would mean a blame game between brussels, downing street and parliament, and a wholly unpredictable election. but then, tonight, no—one can predict anything with any confidence at all. the prime minster also used his conference speech to talk directly to voters, saying any further attempt to frustrate brexit would have "grave consequences" for people's trust in democracy. our political correspondent alex forsyth has spent the day in the conservative marginal of cheadle near stockport. finding a brexit solution is clearly more complex than fitting a new boiler, but that doesn't stop plenty craving a fix for the country. at his home in cheadle, nigel is frustrated at the constant wrangling over what comes next. he's pleased that the prime minis

in brussels what's actually going on in london. well i think with the shower this takes. the expectation all for any. deal this evening has got lower and lower and the sources that have been talking to british media from inside the government and now saying that they don't think that that is going to happen tonight basically the you and islands seem to be broadly happy with what they have discussed with the british government with downing street but downing street does not seem yet to have been able to convince the d. u.p.a. the ulster northern irish unionist party that is crucial to getting any deal over the line that what they can offer is is good enough yet for them to sign up to it now the d e p are very wary about the idea of a border between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. regulator e and customs border that is what seems to be being talked about in that in that deal this deal that was trying to hash out with the european union so if they are going to come on board with this presume that they need to be sweetens in some considerable way or reassured that t

our europe editor katya adler in brussels. president trump has said the turkish assault on kurdish forces in northern syria "has nothing to do" with the united states. his abrupt decision to pull out us troops last week has led to russian and syrian government forces advancing into positions they once held. mr trump has faced intense criticism at home and abroad after turkey invaded to create what it claims is a "safe zone" on the syrian side of the border. our international correspondent orla guerin reports from turkey's border with syria. urban warfare in northern syria. fighters backed by turkey still battling for control of the border town of ras al—ain. they are facing fierce resistance from the kurds, women fighting alongside men. it's rare to get a glimpse of this side of the battle. but one week into turkey's invasion, president erdogan has taken a swathe of territory from the kurds and says he won't stop until he completes his so—called safe zone. translation: operation peace spring will last until we reach a dept

what reactionsnsre you heaearing in brussels? he i is heading across the street to the european council where he will present his deal to the 27 other eu countries. what was key during his press conference is that he said explicitly the backstop is gone. it over the early -- replaced by the irish protocol, which will be made up of consent mechanisms and a special status for northern ireland. -- key dealealer itself, it says northern ireland is part of the custom territory of the united kingdom. the devil is in the details because if you look at this deal, northern ireland is in the eu custom union for everything no risk of goods coming in through the eu customs. also, a tricky issue was a holdup at the last minute and it appears northern ireland will be -- what we are looking at is a soft brexit for northern ireland and a hard brexit for the rest of the u.k.. the key question is how is it going to go down with all of the different parties involved? the key question is how scotland will react to this because scotland might react s

mark urban reports from brussels. if the institutions in brussels operate under legal and procedural frameworks as rigid as the laws of physics. seen from here, thejohnson government proposal violates principles worked out carefully during the brexit negotiations and agreed to by the uk and that causes them to doubt the prime minister's motives and even tabling such ideas. if we negotiate in good faith on both sides, even if we fail, there is room for a strong future relationship stop if there is a feeling that good faith is lacking oi’ feeling that good faith is lacking or trust is lacking, it might have consequences. this evening we bumped into chief negotiator michel barnier. it is another feature of the brussels feature that it does not want to stifle diplomacy. there is progress but, to be frank, a lot of work still needs to be done, which fulfils the three objectives of the backstop, no photo, economy and protecting the single market and protecting the consumer, citizens and businesses inside that single marke

in brussels, the eu's chief negotiator says we're working. the task for downing street — to persuade some prominent conservative brexit supporters to support the terms of a new deal. i have absolutely every confidence in the prime minister's intent. the big question is, whether the clock ticking, will everybody choose to make a deal possible? and i really hope they do. —— with the clock ticking. dame louise ellman quits labour after 22 years as an mp, saying she can no longer advocate voting for the party whenjeremy corbyn could become prime minister. president trump describes a meeting with the family of harry dunn as beautiful and sad. the parents refused to meet the woman involved in the crash that killed their son. we are still willing to meet her, but it needs to be on uk soil. and as kurdish forces fight to retain territory under turkish attack, president trump says the conflict is no longer a matter for the us. william and kate in the mountains of the hindu kush to see for themselves the effects of global warming. and at 11:30pm,

but you've made significant changes to the deal you so you have to get on board brussels us happy we are happy the conservative party is happy with it so get your act together and finally support that deal but for the do you cause this is a very fundamental issue they want to be as closely aligned as possible to london to the united kingdom and not to brussels and dublin and they will look very closely now at the legal text at the $64.00 pages of documents that have just been coming out of the european union and then they will see if in the end they might finally be able to rally behind it but for now as things stand they've just made another statement they are not on board yet so that is 10 votes less for boris johnson on saturday and paula meant and for his deal and just a follow up on that it appears that this question of a value added tax regime really has been where the do you have said it cannot get on board is that right. yeah that was one of the issues and a very big issue for northern ireland was the issue off consents now as far as i've been reading those words draw agreeme

to brussels he says they represent a shift in the u.k.'s position today in brussels we are taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern ireland the only will the old we will respect the peace process and the the good friday agreement. the old and i and i and by and by a process of renewable democratic consent by the executive and the assembly of northern ireland we will go further and protect the existing regulatory arrangements for farmers and businesses on both sides of the border and at the same time we will allow the u.k. whole and entire to withdraw from the e.u. with control over our own trade policy from the start. so the u.k. prime minister barak at its party's conference meanwhile the a used chief president goes into michel barnier has given the planet guarded welcome. so mark martin met 2 british dean today and received legal proposal on gary's progress. but to be frank are there enough of work

adam and brussels. 0k, it has been another big week. really, i feel cross side, actually. my binder is got increasingly thicker. and are we poised to get a new brexit deal? brussels asked concrete proposals. operational and whether the prime minister come up with? new protocols with ireland and northern ireland and a legal text then no one is actually seeing the full version of so actually seeing the full version of so broadly speaking, is everybody ready? broadly speaking, the solution to replace the backstop, which was the thing in the last thing that fell into the comments to go against the border coming back was northern ireland, for agriculture, things and stuff that's made and northern ireland, stays in the single market following the eu rules, but northern ireland gets a vote on that every four years and it kinda gives people a veto. they get a veto even before it comes in. six months before. it will be due to start of this ever happened at the end of the transition period which is the start of 2021, so it is not immediate if this was the fly, it would not have to h

in brussels. how should we read the statement from the dup? we look at it and say they are still working together and therefore it is positive, or they put out the statement on twitter that was quite firm and so it is negative? >> exactly. it was not exactly the statement that boris johnson was hoping for on the morning when he was planning to come to brussels to seal a deal with the european union to try and get his brexit plan over the line. the prime minister was pressing the flesh in london while his negotiators were in brussels trying to get those final legal details sealed in the document. he was hoping that this morning would bring approval from the dup, not a statement on twitter say they don't see an agreement. was a blow and that is reflected by the pound. anna: -- nejra: absolutely. but you wonder if some of the downside has been limited by the extension. extension, angela merkel mentioned an emergency summit. what we know about that? >> she has been speaking in the we areag and she sai

yeah it'll be interesting to see what he said to morrow there in brussels to results in brussels and publicly also in washington to both of you excellent analysis thank you. europe especially germany you have seen 1st hand the human consequences of syria's civil war in 2015 most of the 1000000 plus migrants who came to germany were fleeing their homes in syria that includes the kurds a 3rd of all syrian refugees now in germany come from the kurdish region in northern syria we met one of them living here in berlin on week. looks forward to soccer training with his club. mike most of the players could you know comes from osama the kurdish autonomous region and northern syria. he finds it difficult to come to trade on the game on the conflict in his homeland is still going on. we are worried about our families and the team talks about it. it's not just me that others have wrote it's their we support each other. it's always. came to germany as a refugee from syria in 2012 he now has german citizenship and is studying to be a social worker his parents still live in northern syria. you kno

johnson says that brussels telling brussels that his latest brags that proposal is his quote final offer judson unveiled his plan today at his conservative party conference in manchester he's hoping it will allow him to finally clinch a deal with the e.u. to a well and orderly exit from the european union but johnson's latest proposal it has already received a cool reception in brussels. supporters waiting in line in manchester to get a glimpse of boris johnson it was the prime minister's 1st comprehensive speech since he took office and the high point of the conservative party conference what he had to say in the breaks of talks with the e.u. was hotly anticipated today in brussels we all taping i believe all constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides top of johnson's list was the so-called irish backstop and the issue of how to prevent a hard border post briggs's between the republic of ireland and northern ireland the pritish government as opposed to the backstop in its present form johnson said under his proposal there would be few customs checks

let's go live to brussels. i'm nuala mcgovern, in brussels, where the breaking news this hour is — the eu and the uk say they've agreed a new brexit deal. the prime minister says he's got a ‘great new deal that takes back control‘ — and he urges parliament to back it. the president of the european commission, jean claude juncker, hails the deal as a "fair and balanced agreement" but in the last few minutes, northern ireland's democratic unionist party has said it still can't back the deal "as things stand".

income threshold you still have to ratify the deal but the sense here in brussels is that their work is done that however is not the case for boris johnson he still has to convince the u.k. parliament to back his agreement but that won't be easy the deal has failed to win the key support of the democratic unionist party or d u p the northern irish party the props up johnson's conservative government it's obviously not a day we can support we've made that assessment on the deal itself we're not there in a compare and contrast but certainly discuss. that's our border in the irish sea in terms of the terms of costumes and terms of single market without any consent that is meaningful for the people of northern ireland if the british prime minister fails to win parliamentary backing for his deal he'll be legally obliged to seek an extension from brussels to the october 31st briggs deadline result face says that is not going to happen breaks it it would seem is far from over the top al-jazeera brussels. that's going to jenna how he's in brussels for us so there's been a deal before how is

lots of reports coming out of brussels. in the last hour, laura tweeted that sources are telling her there would not be until tonight. she also says it simply not clear that means there is no way forwarded orjust a way of a standing talks into tomorrow because they need a little bit more time. i'm joined by our political correspondent nick eardley. it's as if both sides are on com plete it's as if both sides are on complete different pages. you listen to president macron in france. he is saying we can get over the line tomorrow. here, no suggestion a deal is imminent. it feels the mood music is imminent. it feels the mood music is getting more sullen on the site. i think the mood music is confused, to be honest with you, clive. there area to be honest with you, clive. there are a lot of mps desperate for information just not getting it, because of that, they are not committing. you have heard from brexiteers today. they want to believe boris johnson. brexiteers today. they want to believe borisjohnson. they want brexiteers

reaching a new deal, solving the political connumdrums with brussels isa political connumdrums with brussels is a big achievement. the eu has moved in ways thatjust a couple of ways ago they swore would never happen. but to reach there, boris johnson has of course had to compromise too. so he runs smack into the very next problem — because deal that works for this town might not work for parliament, where there isa not work for parliament, where there is a vital vote in two days' time. mps who fear the consequences of the deal are talking, plotting perhaps to block it. not least boris johnson's supposed unionist allies. to avoid trying to get an extension he has been too eager to get a deal at any cost. and the fact of the matter is if he held his nerve he would have got better concessions that kept the integrity of the united kingdom. other brexiteers dangling their supports. i'm reserving my position, i want to read what is in it, we were told that certain concerns were being met in the agreement and ijust want to make sure that that is the case. the parties who want to stay in the eu wi
